This popup should be criminal. Ive misclicked the signin button multiple times, causing PII to be sent to a third party I dont trust without my authorization.

Can we block sharing email addresses by default? It seems every time I sign in with Google the site / app starts SPAMming me without my consent. It's pretty much why I don't use it: The SPAM.
That's you/OAuth giving the provider your google account id, which is your @gmail.com email.
The vast majority of users will chose the default for identity. On Chrome this is Google. On Android this is Google. Even on iOS this may be Google because identity is often tied to email and Apple does not have a strong email story. Identity is huge. It gives you moat that outlives platforms.
And all the while, Google gets to claim this standard is open, while in practice this is clearly intended as a monopolistic move to increase their share of identity on the web.
If they were forced to show a randomized list of identity providers a user needs to choose from (similar to search engines on iOS), I bet you they would reconsider this whole approach. But by the time regulators figure out what's going on, they will have already cemented their lead.
Does nobody find this intrusive when it appears on sites like pornhub? Of all places where I'd sign in with a Google account... holy heck, I was very surprised they chose to let Google do that nearly-fullscreen popup on their site upon every visit (since you visit in private tab, it's a fresh session every time) Even on reddit it annoys the heck out of me and I was very surprised they let this third party ruin the ex…
But if I cared, I on Firefox can make a separate container for that stuff and login that way. I get a burner account and Google (at least from PH) can't see anything other than other adult sites I put in that container.

I’m super happy Google’s login with my name, appears on PornHub, especially since I’m using a separate browser, Firefox mobile, for this only, never used it for anything else, never logged in. Luckily Firefox mobile gives websites access to something on my phone about my identity. But I’m happy it does this. Because it exposes how much websites know about us. It’s like Facebook showing face recognition in 2015. It’s…
Of course, one day AI will probably automatically do realtime editing of porn videos so they will be customized for your name/location/job/background/interests.
The Chrome experience is actually part of a new standard, Federated Credential Management (or FedCM for short). The idea is to create a browser mediated login experience that gives the identity provider and web app what they need without being able to correlate requests across the Internet. I am working on an article on this topic. If you are interested in learning more, here's a video from a recent auth focused conf…
Seems like either way, they’re in control of a massive amount of tracking data…

Of course! That's why I even added this to my uBlock filter list on mobile: accounts.google.com/gsi/client
How do you get ublock to work in chrome after the update? I tried a fix I found here but it resets every time I restart the browser
“Sign in with Google” is annoying, but at least you can turn it off with chrome://settings/content/federatedIdentityApi Does anyone know how to switch this off on Safari please, especially Mobile Safari. I’ve noticed these sign-in popups on iOS 18.
> ... example of Google advantaging ... Way to bury the lead. Anyway, what's the advantage? Please elaborate.
1) The annoying Sign in with Google banners appear in Firefox and Safari with no toggle to disable them, even if you aren't logged in with Google, even if you don't have a Google account.
2) Those banners do not appear at all in Chrome.
3) There is a Chrome-specific sign-in UI, but it appears only if you're already signed in to your Google account in Chrome.
4) You can disable the Chrome-specific sign-in UI in Chrome settings.
So Chrome users have control, whereas Firefox and Safari users are inundated with annoyance.
